The particular problem I have occurs on a phpbb ( http://www.phpbb.com ) user
management page. I can't post a link because the board requires an admin login
and password. I have my personal admin login saved by the password manager, but
when i go to administrate any user, my login replaces the user's login, and my
password is filled in for the user. The password field does not have a default
value, but the username value has a default value corresponding with the user's
login name.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Login to a phpbb board to which you have admin rights.
2.Allow password manager to save your login information.
3.Goto the phpbb Administration Panel.
4.Choose User Management.
5.Look up any user.

Actual Results:  
The user management page is filled with the login and password saved by the
password manager in step 2.

Expected Results:  
I would not expect Mozilla to fill in the form, but rather leave it unaltered. I
think this could be fixed by not filling forms that already have a default value
set for username or password, or by having the password manager only fill forms
that have a few fields (certainly not over a dozen as the phpbb user management
page has). Another way to solve the problem would be to offer a feature to
restore the form to it's default values (like the html input object of type reset).
